What this solves

The core operating system most local businesses should start with.

Business Essentials is the main recommended plan because it includes Foundation System and AI Receptionist, then connects the website, CRM, conversations, reviews, automations, and follow-up foundation.

Starter systems

Foundation System and AI Receptionist included.

The review engine, social proof tools, AI voice, and website chat are part of the core operating system.

Website

Free 15+ page CRM-connected website.

Includes service pages, contact or quote page, review sections, core SEO structure, and CRM-connected forms.

CRM

Track leads and customers in one place.

Pipeline, conversations, booking, tasks, proposals, invoices, payments, and reporting.

Review automation

Make review requests personal.

Compliant SMS automation can pair a real team photo with a customer-name image, then follow through with context-aware AI replies.

Automation

Follow-up becomes part of the system.

Missed call text back, review requests, reactivation, reminders, and onboarding support.

Personalized review automation

A review request that feels like it came from a real business.

Business Essentials and higher plans add compliant text-message review requests to the Foundation review tools. We recommend taking a real owner or team photo while holding a blank whiteboard. The system can place each customer's name on the board and use that image in the request.

The message is still simple and honest. The personalized image earns attention and makes the thank-you feel more thoughtful than a generic review link. AI replies can use the reviewer name, service, and service area when the review provides those details. When it does not, approved business defaults can be used without pretending the customer said something they did not.

  • Registered business messaging number and A2P setup when required
  • Customer-name image personalization inside the review request
  • Review link, QR code, feedback funnel, widget, and social posting
  • AI replies that use real review context without inventing details
